Southwest Airlines Loses Ticket Tax Battle in Congress
Southwest Airlines, once a outspoken renegade in the industry, lost a push against a new ticket tax plan in Congress. The package replaces a flat 10 percent with a 7.5 percent tax plus a $3 per passenger head tax phased in over five years. Major carriers backed the change, noting Southwest carried 9 percent of passengers but paid only 5.5 percent of taxes, aided by PACs and lobbyists.
